I have been recommending oregano oil for candida and all manner of digestive problems for over ten years, and find that it really works well with people who complain of candida yeast infections, small intestinal bowel overgrowth (SIBO) and those who complain in general of gas, indigestion and bloating. It is a good idea to complement oregano oil with a top quality probiotic. These natural products are compatible with each other and will often hasten recovery, especially when used in conjunction with a good candida program.

Oregano is a superb anti-bacterial and anti-fungal herb; it contains many different volatile oils that are highly active against the majority of pathogenic bacteria and yeasts, including staph, strep, and E.coli. Furthermore, just like garlic, fungal resistance to oregano oil is exceptionally rare, it just doesn’t happen and the drug companies will never let you in on that secret. Oregano is such a potent anti-fungal agent that it is capable of destroying even resistant fungal forms such as the mutated fungi which result from Antibiotic therapy, I have noticed this on many occasions when treating resistant cases of yeast infection. I’m a big fan of oregano oil in cases of yeast infection and believe that the best results come to those who use the powerful double-hitting combination of an allicin rich garlic extract AND a carvacrol rich oregano oil. You just can’t beat nature!

Good tip - be sure to get a high quality wild oregano oil from the Mediterranean with a high carvacrol content. There is plenty of junk on the market unfortunately.
